Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy, the first person in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, it is necessary to be a minister who is close to the emperor to be appointed, at least at the level of a Hanlin scholar. In terms of age and seniority alone, Lin Zhao is still a little too immature, but the first one is enough, the trust of the emperor is the most important, this is the decisive point.

Wang Gui completely miscalculated, he inquired from the Chinese book, Lin Zhao did not mention Yang Ji in the book, so he boldly defended his nephew for revenge. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao took the door of the Privy Council, and said that the privy envoy Han Jiang was moved to help speak. Lin Zhao fought in the northwest twice before, and he had already formed a friendship with Han Xianggong, and he was still willing to help with this idea.

Moreover, Wang Gui underestimated Zhao Ji's trust in Lin Zhao. originally thought that mentioning Lin Zhao's unauthorized disposal of generals, so as to find a charge of disrespecting the emperor, could even fan the flames and rise to the height of self-respect of the army, and the officials who have always been suspicious are likely to be suspicious. It's a pity that his wishful thinking failed, and he stole chickens and rice.

Lin Zhao's original plan was just to drive Wang Gui away from the position of Xuanfu envoy on Shaanxi Road, but he didn't expect that good things would fall directly on his head.

Han Jiang didn't expect this, and Lin Zhao's intention to ask him for help was just to deal with Wang Gui. Han Xianggong didn't think that Lin Zhao could sit in the position of Xuanfu envoy, he did this, in addition to giving Lin Zhao face, but also for the sake of harmony among the generals in the northwest and favorable to the war situation, which was his duty as a privy envoy.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji didn't move, and he moved amazingly, and directly gave Lin Zhao the position of the Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy.

Wang Gui was very depressed, and before he went to work, his official position was gone. What is this called? But Zhao Ji is not bad. He was given the position of envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. It can also be regarded as a saving face. However, Wang Gui's heart was not happy after all, Yang Ji was his nephew, Lin Zhao didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, and killed him directly, which was too much.

Ben was still thinking of finding a way to get justice for his nephew after going to the northwest, but the emperor and Han Xianggong expected this and directly deprived him of the opportunity.

In the end, Lin Zhao's house was cheaper, at a young age. actually became the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, and the spring breeze was proud, like the sun! But what's the saying? The higher he climbed, the heavier he fell, and Wang Gui didn't know whether it was a prediction based on experience or a helpless curse in his heart......

Compared to Wang Gui, the other courtiers were in shock. As soon as the news of Lin Zhao's appointment as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road came out, some people immediately jumped out to oppose it.

The theme is that Lin Zhao is too young to take on big responsibilities. Of course, some people also suggested that Lin Zhaogong was highly powerful. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to lead the troops outside.

But Zhao Ji didn't care at all. After a hundred years of rule in the Great Song Dynasty, the people have formed a deep-rooted identity with the Zhao family, how easy is it for a general to rebel? What's more, although the Shaanxi Road Xuanfu Envoy is in a high position, can the officials and generals of the states and roads be completely of the same mind as him?

Ordinary military and political affairs will obey orders, but if there is any wrongdoing, can those generals still obey orders? Dozens of states in the northwest, it is absolutely impossible to work together. Coupled with Lin Zhao's cautious loyalty, Zhao Ji did not have the slightest doubt, and he already had a plan in his heart. What's the saying? Make the best use of your talents......

As for those who said that Lin Zhao was young, they were blocked back by Zhao Ji with a word.

"Gan Luo is the twelfth phase, is Lin Zhao younger than him? If you want to achieve great things, you need to be meritocracy! ”

However, the officials do not seem to give up, and there are still many opponents, and some people continue to write to impeach them. Now Zhao Ji is most disgusted by this situation, the rebellious heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the more fierce the opposition of the officials, the more he wants to do it. After being bored to the extreme, he asked rhetorically: "Those who talk about Lin Zhao, who can go to the northwest to Tubo?" If there is, the military order can go to the Shaanxi Road Propaganda Envoy. ”

At this moment, the courtiers immediately fell silent, and usually most of the people who jumped out to oppose this kind of thing were civil officials, and most of them were officials. Let them lead their troops to battle and conquer Tibet? They know how many pounds and taels they have, especially if they want a military order, and no one can afford to make this joke. So it was silent in an instant, Zhao Ji tried his best to disagree with the public, and Lin Zhao took office honorably as Zheng Guogong and served as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road.

Lu Huiqing, who is a political adviser, also obediently shut up, and he only symbolically objected. He is not on good terms with Lin Zhao, and as the deputy prime minister, it would be strange if he didn't say anything. Lu Huiqing knew early on that opposition would definitely be invalid, and it was just a formality. lest the emperor suspect him, the consequences of speculating on the king's heart are terrible.

Lin Zhao also had good luck, he became a national prince at a young age, and the official went to Shaanxi Road to proclaim and appease. Lu Huiqing was itching with hatred, and even a little jealous, that was a position that he was not qualified to win. The official family actually gave it to him exceptionally, which is simply intolerable.

Isn't heaven the emperor, and the principles of heaven are in the hands of the emperor, since he said yes, what's the use of others opposing it? When Lu Huiqing thought about it, she felt so stupid.

Lu Huiqing never forgot the hatred of his two younger brothers for a moment, and he always thought about revenge. thought that after sitting on the governor's affairs and becoming the leader of the new party, he would have enough strength to deal with Lin Zhao. Unfortunately, it backfired, and he forgot that when he was advancing, his opponent was also advancing, and perhaps much faster than himself.

Lin Zhao's strength has reached a height that he can't shake, not to mention that he is not in Bianjing, he is simply beyond the reach of the whip. Although the governor is in a high position, the affairs of the army must not be involved, otherwise Han Xianggong of the Privy Council will definitely not be able to tolerate himself.

It is not possible to take revenge with your own strength, so you can only borrow your strength, with Lin Zhao's current status, how many people in the Great Song Dynasty are his opponents? The dignified patriarch Han Qi of the three dynasties is all defeated under him, who dares to say that he is better than Han Qi? However, Lu Huiqing really thought of someone - Emperor Zhao Ji!

Everything in Lin Zhao was given by Zhao Xuan, and only the Emperor of the Ninth Five, the powerful emperor could easily kill him. Lin Zhao is now a scene, but isn't there a lot of crisis behind it?

There is a way that prosperity must decline, the high-ranking officials of Shaanxi Road Xuanfu Envoy, and the title of Duke Zheng Guo are all based on Hehuang's military exploits. What if Lin Zhao's next battle fails? Even if he is lucky, what if he overcomes. Has the ancient meritorious person ever had a good end?

Maybe Lin Zhao's merit is high, but it is not enough to shock the master, but with Zhao Ji's suspicious character. Lin Zhao is afraid that he will not be spared. When the time comes, it only needs to be slightly boosted. Add fuel to the fire. The effect is absolutely striking.

Lu Huiqing was very proud, but he was definitely not the only one who saw this potential crisis. The Zheng Guogong Mansion that changed the plaque, Chai Minyan is cooperating with Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of Chu State, to make fun of it. Zhao Fukang, who has never given birth, is extremely rare for children, especially his two own nephews, who love him in every way and often come to visit the house.

Zhao Fukang once had a mental abnormality, and it was rare to have fun, and he was like sisters with Chai Minyan. Therefore, such behavior does not raise suspicion. The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao also smiled and said that if Zhao Fukang likes children, it is better to remarry and have one by herself, after all, she is only in her thirties, and she is still young, she can still help find candidates.

But since Liang Huaiji, Zhao Fukang's love for men and women can be said to be like water, and his heart is all on his brother's great cause, and he politely refused. Gao Taotao only thought that she had no love for Liang Huaiji, and was afraid that she would feel nostalgic and sad. The old illness recurred, in that case, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Miao were afraid that they would find themselves desperately. Therefore, it will not be mentioned again. did not care about Zhao Fukang's entry and exit from the Lin family.

At this moment, Zhao Fukang was holding Lin Jun in his arms, Chai Minyan was holding Lin Hong, and the two were standing in the attic, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, and talking.

"It's only been a long time since the plaque at the door changed from a marquis to a prince, which is very rare in the Great Song Dynasty." When Zhao Fukang said this, he didn't know if he was proud of his brother or something else.

Chai Min said: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Lin Lang is too outstanding." ”

"Yes, this should be rewarded for meritorious service, but he is still so young, he is already a national prince, what should he reward after he makes meritorious service in the future?" Zhao Fukang said worriedly: "With Dongyang's age, the sealing of the Pingzhang matter, the Zhongshu Order or something is very reluctant, at most there will be one Kaifu Yi and the third division, what about after these?" There is no reward, and the merit is high! ”

"Eldest sister is ......" Chai Minyan's worries deepened, now the Lin family is well-off, but what about the future? What others see is a blooming flower, but what about after the fire cooks the oil? There is a way that things must be reversed, and prosperity must decline, especially the special life experience of her husband, the emperor's suspicious personality is big, which is really worrying!

"Zhongzhen is a cold person, suspicious not to say, but also more use of people, once there is no use value, or when he is threatened, he is only afraid of ......" Zhao Fukang said: "Now Dongyang has made great achievements in the northwest, which is in line with Zhongzhen's heart to pacify the river, if Dongyang wins this battle, there will be rewards after returning, but there will definitely be no next expedition or reuse, and the result may also be a bright rise and a dark fall...... If the war is defeated, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and it is even more difficult to escape the responsibility. ”

"What does the eldest sister think?" Chai Minyan knew that this princess sister was thoughtful, and she was able to say this not to emphasize the current situation, but to have something to say.

"With Dongyang's ability, the Battle of Hehuang should live up to expectations and will definitely be won, I believe this." Zhao Fukang said: "I'm thinking about what happened after he came back, now he is the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, this is estimated to be the last generosity of Zhongzhen, Dongyang will definitely not let go of the opportunity, it is estimated that after the end of the war, the Western Army will almost be able to firmly control it, and it will have the strength to fight with Zhao Ji." So I thought, in order to avoid Dongyang being seized power, it's almost time for a showdown. ”

Showdown!

Chai Minyan's heart moved, he knew too well what these two words meant. The husband will be able to restore the status of a nobleman immediately, which is not the same. But at the same time, the difficult road will officially begin, more dangerous and terrifying, and there is no room for maneuver.

"What my sister said is, but this matter is very important, and I think it is up to my husband and Di Gong to call the shots."

Zhao Fukang nodded and said: "That's true, I'll tell you, I just want you to be prepared, and at the same time, I also want you to take the time to persuade Niangniang." Now her heart is all in Dongyang, but she still has some pity in the face of Zhongzhen in her heart, after all, she has loved her since she was a child, I mean...... You take the time to bring more children into the palace and persuade the mother. ”

"Good!" Chai Minyan doesn't know if this is a blessing or a curse, but since her husband has chosen this path, she will spare no effort to support him, no matter whether the road ahead is a catastrophe or glory.

“he…… Good ......"

Lin Hong, who was just half a year old, heard his mother and aunt chatting, and was so excited that he babbled. A similar voice was seen. Immediately provoked Chai Minyan and Zhao Fukang to be excited.

"Xiao Hong'er. Can you understand? That's amazing. It's really worthy of being born a dragon......" Zhao Fukang teased like this, Lin Hong became even more excited, his mouth babbled, and his little hands and feet began to flutter constantly, so it was not lively.

Lin Jun is still young, but his little eyes have been staring at his brother, and the corners of his mouth show an innocent smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The son is laughing, and Lin Zhao is also laughing.

The post of the Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy spread to Xihe. Lin Zhao was also excited.

"Di Gong, it's done!" Lin Zhao immediately shared the good news with Di Qing.

"Yes, that's great!" Di Qing knew very well what this position meant to Lin Zhao, so he was also very happy.

Lin Zhao smiled: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, Han Jiang is too powerful, I just asked him to help drive Wang Gui away, but I didn't expect it to fall on my head all of a sudden." ”

Di Qing said: "Son, you are now in charge of the entire Xihe war, Shaanxi Road naturally has to fully cooperate, Wang Gui can't do it, just change someone?" How many people can be like Han Jiang at the beginning? The Hee River is open. But immortal feats, who doesn't want to get involved? But when it comes to power. How many people are dormant in peace? Zhao Ji understands this truth, he attaches too much importance to the prospect of the Xihe war, and naturally he doesn't want his son to be constrained, so it can be said that he has high hopes, but the greater the hope, the greater the responsibility and pressure......"

This is not bad at all, the so-called high place is not cold, Lin Zhao has now deeply understood it. Zhao Ji is equivalent to betting on himself this time, if he can perfectly complete the task he assigned, it will naturally be good, and everyone will be happy. But if it can't be completed, with Zhao Ji's cool character, he doesn't know how to deal with his once glorious scapegoat.

But it's a pity that Zhao Ji miscalculated after all, from the time he made this decision to let Lin Zhao become the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, he was already doomed to failure.

"Childe, the Western Army is already in control, is this river still fighting?" Di Qing asked softly.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Di Gong must have made up his mind, so why bother to test me?" ”

"Hehe, I just want to hear the voice of the son, now it seems that the old man is painting snakes, and this is an extra move!" Di Qing seemed to be very satisfied, and the whole person's cautious state was also in excitement.

"Being the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road does not mean that he completely controls the Western Army, and now he can dispatch six or seven percent of the soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to ensure that they swear allegiance to the ......" Lin Zhao said: "The conquest of Hehuang is already a matter known to the whole country, if it is temporarily abandoned, it will be difficult to explain to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the people of the world, and it will not be beneficial to reputation and prestige."

Without the absolute allegiance of the army, without the merits and prestige that are enough to impress the subjects of the world, how can he compete with Zhao Ji, so this river must be beaten, although it is difficult, it is not impossible to take it. ”

Di Qing echoed: "Yes, taking advantage of this war against Hehuang, Gongzi just took the opportunity to take the soldiers for his own use, after the war is over, there are meritorious deeds, and the army is also available, it is time for a showdown with Zhao Ji." ”

"Showdown? What does Di Gong think the timing is? ”

Di Qing said: "There is news from the thunder side, and the eldest princess thinks that the time is almost up. He said that Zhao Ji has a cold personality, and if the son wins a big victory this time, he will be added to the rank and knight after he goes back, but he will also be set aside. If you lose, the consequences will be even more miserable, so you must take advantage of the last opportunity to have a showdown with Zhao Ji.

The eldest princess has even chosen a time, if the war in Hehuang can end within four or five months, then in April, the birthday ceremony of the first emperor is a good opportunity, the queen mother can ask for the ceremony to be held solemnly, all the officials attended, and then announce it in public......"

"The eldest sister thinks about the truth, the father's birthday ceremony is indeed a good opportunity, but this war may not end in four months." Lin Zhao said: "After all, Hehuang's strength is not weak, Dong Yu can be regarded as a promising king, Qingyi has gone back to the ghost chapter, and he will destroy Tubo within four months, it is hard to say whether Western Xia will participate...... I'm afraid it's difficult......"

"You don't have to completely destroy Tubo, you just need to beat Tubo to pieces, so that you can explain to the courtiers and the people." Di Qing said: "Leave some tails, so that Gongzi has enough reason to return to the northwest...... Sitting in Chang'an, he competed with Zhao Ji across Tongguan. ”

"Yes, then let's plan well and see how Hehuang fights this battle to achieve a quick victory!" Lin Zhao has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he can finally reveal his identity and fight with Zhao Ming, so he is not excited for a while.

"Let's prepare for war, and there is also to win over soldiers, Jing Sili is a successful example, and Gongzi can do the same to others!"

After Jing Sili was in a coma for many days, he finally woke up, and the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made him very happy. In particular, the complete victory in the battle of Tabaicheng made him happy and felt that it was worth fighting to the death. Later, he learned from Zhao Yuankai that Lin Zhao cried for himself and killed Yang Qi in a fit of anger, and he was even more embarrassed and grateful to Lin Zhao. After the success of the Niche Valley that had been running for thousands of miles, he was deeply impressed by Lin Zhao, and he was already obedient.

Lin Zhao was also very fortunate that he had an adventure in Baicheng, but fortunately saved Jing Sili. Without this loyal and commendable hero LinkedIn died young, this is a talent, and it is definitely fortunate to be able to collect it for his own use, and naturally cherish it.

Now that he is sitting in the position of the Shaanxi Road Propaganda Envoy, the next battle will involve the mobilization of the entire Western Army. There is no better way to control the army, buy generals, and cultivate power than a war. (To be continued.) )
